Simone Simons comment: “Welcome to the behind the scenes of the making of EPICA 8. In this first video, we are working hard on the pre-production of our new album, making sure all details are perfect. As always, it was a pleasure to spend time with the band and Joost. I am so happy with how the songs evolved and can’t wait for you all to hear them!”
